Connor Hellebuyck

Jamie Phillips only played in 9 game last year.

That is the normal path for a freshman goalie in the NCAA. What Hellebuyck and Kasdorf did is actually pretty rare.

Most accounts had Phillips playing pretty well and some fans thought he deserved more stats.

I'd imagine UMass-Lowell usually play a tight defensive system (even by NCAA standards) because they probably don't recruit a lot of high-end offensive players.

Do their goalies always have a .950 save percentage?

No they don't.

In looking at both Odessa and UMass-Lowell, it's clear that Hellebuyck was the superior goalie on those teams. In both cases, the statistical comparison isn't even close.

I'm actually of the belief that Hellebuyck will be a good NHL goalie. Still way too early to tell though but I think the Jets have a real steal with him.

I remember reading one NHL scout saying after the 2012 draft that he could be the real deal in a few years. Big, mobile and determined to succeed. Those are all three things you want in a future #1 goalie.

Holy necro.

But good! Good necro.

50 save shutout...wow! Can't wait to see a tandem of Hutch and Helly!

 

[allan5oh]

What's interesting is how much his work load has increased over last year, but he can handle it no problem. It's a huge concern with goalies turning pro.

My thoughts are if he was performing at this level playing any position other than tender he would have been called up to the parent club but he is in the perfect spot for now.

My thoughts are that he is playing well enough in the AHL to be a back up at worst in the NHL next season.

My thoughts are if TNSE (notice I didn't say Chevy) have the financial courage to roll hutch and Helly next season we will be a playoff team.

I don't even with this guy. Can't even. I dunno. Insane.

Goalies are voodoo and all, but... That's four seasons in a row where it could be argued that he's the best goalie in his league. In three different leagues.

Wow has he played a lot of games.

Why do our prospects have to have such difficult to spell names?

 

[bigplay41*]

This kid is going to be the biggest steal in NHL draft history ever our Tom Brady! Our Pavel Datsyuk!

 

[Koonta]

Why do our prospects have to have such difficult to spell names?

Apparently all our players do judging by how many people can't spell Myers (Meyers, Mayors, Myors, Mayers, Miors, Miley)

I can't wait. From what I hear, his work ethic is amazing as well.

Can you guys imagine if he was a Leafs prospect? The hype right now would be through the roof.

Nah, he'd have been traded for Andrew Raycroft years ago.

Habs too. See Fucale.

 

[puck stoppa]

Do we have the best pick ups after round three of the draft or what! This guy is the real deal, great scouting, bet that scout is smiling now!
